Just this past week alone, I ran our weekly movie day, a grade-school mural painting program, Teen Book Club, a Bubble Party for our 3-7 year-olds, a family program with fish crafts, a packed storytime, and our weekly Wii gaming day. Our Saturday storytime didn’t happen (mostly because Illinois was racked with power outages this weekend), and I will be adding a second storytime program because this week’s was so packed.

We love seeing our kids and teens on a regular, daily basis — but it is truly exhausting.

Things should settle down this week. (We have likely gotten most of the sign-ups out of the way, and our teen volunteers have all have a full week of training/working.)

Look for my portion of Nerds Heart YA results this week, and a lot of reviews that I’ve been holding until the books were released to the public!
